THE FOUNDING OF PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Providence College was founded in 1917 through a joint effort ofthe Diocese of Providence and the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph, with the blessing of Pope Benedict XV and the consent of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island. The driving force behind the development of the College was the late Rt. Rev. Matthew Harkins, D. D., Bishop of Providence, whose dream it was to create a center of advanced learning primarily for the Catholic youth of Rhode Island. However, the College’s charter demonstrates that the founders intended PC to serve members of all religious faiths as it reads: “no person shall be refused admission . . . nor shall any person be denied any of the privileges, honors, or degrees in said college on account of the religious opinion he may entertain.” Bishop Harkins’ negotiations with the Dominicans of the Province of St. Joseph and his gifts of approximately 17 acres of land and $10,000 in scholarship funds helped make Providence College a reality. With donations coming primarily from Catholics of modest means, and a pledge from the Province of St. Joseph to provide Dominican administrators and teachers, the College broke ground for the imposing Harkins Hall in 1917. Two years later, in September 1919, it opened its doors to 71 students and nine Dominican faculty members.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Providence College is a primarily undergraduate, liberal arts, Catholic institution of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportunities for intellectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment. The College actively cultivates intellectual, spiritual, ethical and aesthetic values within the context of the Judaeo-Christian heritage. These values are nurtured by the unique tradition of the Dominican Order which emphasizes quality teaching and scholarship. Providence College recognizes the unity of the human family that proceeds from its one Creator. It therefore encourages the deepest respect for the essential dignity, freedom and equality of every person and welcomes qualified women and men from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds. Providence College prepares its students to be responsible and productive citizens to serve in their own society and the greater world community.

Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 93 years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population. Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system. With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime.

To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college. As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit. Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; the Providence Place Mall, the Bank of America City Center, sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.

ADMINISTRATION

ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR.

ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT / ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

F R I A R T O W N

Entering his 12th season as Providence College’s Associate Vice President & Athletics Director, Bob Driscoll has transformed and reinvigorated Providence College’s athletics program. Having established a vision of student-athlete success in the classroom, in the community and in competing for championships, Driscoll maintains focus on fostering one of the nation’s most respected programs. Recently, Driscoll helped position the College’s athletics program for success as a member of the reorganized BIG EAST Conference, where the Friars will compete against top-flight academic and athletic institutions in a new era of rivalries built on a rich athletic traditions. With a long-term television contract with FOX Sports and its marquee men’s basketball championship tournament at Madison Square Garden, the BIG EAST is poised for success. Additionally, Friar hockey will continue to compete in the Hockey East Association, one of the premier hockey conferences in the nation. Driscoll also has ushered in stability and success by hiring and mentoring highly respected coaches and staff, including men’s basketball Head Coach Ed Cooley, women’s basketball Head Coach Susan Robinson-Fruchtl and men’s hockey Head Coach Nate Leaman. The department’s coaching patriarch, Ray Treacy, enters his 30th season at the helm of the perennially successful men’s and women’s cross country and track programs at Providence College. Under Driscoll, the Friars have excelled in the classroom. In the NCAA reported Graduation Success Rate (GSR), Providence averages a 92-percent mark with an average GPA of 3.0 for all student-athletes. Following the 2012-13 competition year, four Providence College athletic programs received Public Recognition Awards as part of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program. The Friars have had multiple teams honored in all eight years that the NCAA has given out the Public Recognition Awards. Epitomizing the drive for success in athletics and in the classroom, the 2012 women’s cross country team placed second at the NCAA Championships, boasted three All-Americans, earned a NCAA Public Recognition Award for the second-consecutive season, had three USTFCCCA All-Academic Team Selections and team captain Sam Roecker was named the BIG EAST Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Last season alone, Friar student-athletes combined for over 3,000 hours of community service and raised over $38,000 for charitable causes. The men’s hockey team combined with Team IMPACT and added youngster Kevin Rich, who is battling cancer, to their roster. They welcomed Kevin to all team activities throughout the year. Other teams were involved with Relay for Life, the Project GOAL and raising money in support of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation to fund research to name a few. Additionally, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) sponsored a We “CAN” Do It can drive that involved the entire Providence College community. In Driscoll’s 11 seasons, the Friars have consistently competed for championships. Last season, eight Friar teams qualified for conference tournaments, including women’s cross country finishing as the national runners-up and a second-consecutive Hockey East semifinal appearance by the men’s hockey team. The men’s basketball team advanced to the second round of the BIG EAST Tournament and then went on to the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Three additional teams made BIG EAST Tournament appearances in 2012-13 including the women’s tennis, field hockey and softball teams. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams sent 26 individual qualifiers to the BIG EAST Championship. The men’s and women’s indoor/outdoor track teams combined for five individual BIG EAST titles and five runners combined for eight All-America honors. The Friars also have had success in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings. Most recently, Providence finished the 2012-13 year ranked 12th amongst Division I-AAA schools. Since Driscoll joined the Friars, Providence has finished in the top-12 for Division I-AAA nine times. One of the biggest impacts Driscoll has had on the Providence College Athletics Department and the College as a whole has been with facility development, construction and renovation. Since his arrival in 2001, Driscoll has transformed the College’s athletics facilities. In September of 2013 a state-of-the art, $18 million renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was completed. The project included new locker rooms, new coaches’ offices, a renovated press box, a state-of-the-art video board and sound system, luxury boxes, as well as a new hockey and lacrosse strength and conditioning room. A new track and artificial field was built over the summer of 2013 to give the men’s

and women’s cross country and track programs an improved place to train and race, as well as serving the whole Providence College community. Taylor Natatorium also underwent extensive renovations. Next to Schneider Arena, construction on a new soccer and lacrosse stadium is in planning phase. Other facility upgrades that have highlighted Driscoll’s tenure include an $80 million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the home of Friar men’s basketball. The project was the result of Driscoll working strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island. The renovations enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training/fitness areas. These renovations enabled Providence College to successfully serve as host for the First and Second Rounds of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. In September of 2012, renovations of Alumni Hall were completed. Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and the home of the Friar women’s basketball and volleyball teams, is now a state-of-the-art facility. Kicking off Driscoll’s vision for the improved athletic facilities footprint at Providence College, the Concannon Fitness Center, an $18 million facility, opened in August of 2007, adjacent to the $6 million Lennon Family Field (Astroturf facility), which was completed in August 2005. The Fitness Center houses the Friars’ Jimmy Walker Strength and Conditioning Center for varsity student-athletes as well as administrative and coaching offices, conference rooms and locker rooms. Additionally, the Concannon Fitness Center serves the whole Providence College community and houses the recreation sports staff, furthering the bond between the campus community and Friar Athletics. Next, the Canavan Sports Medicine Center, which was completed in August of 2008, is equipped with an AlterG anti-gravity treadmill and a hydrotherapy room, which includes a SwimEx rehab pool and two plunges for cold/hot therapy. Driscoll established the athletic fundraising philosophy and department that has been instrumental in making program upgrades possible. He and his staff have exceeded fundraising goals on a yearly basis, achieving a 1000% increase in fundraised dollars over an 11-year period. In July of 2013, Driscoll and his fundraising staff announced the successful completion of “Mission 4 Million,” in which the department raised $4 million. The additional revenue remains critical to building and supporting championship programs and providing the best opportunities to the Providence College student-athletes. The funds Driscoll and his staff raise help directly support all 19 of Providence College’s Division I programs, the Friars Forever Fund and capital projects. On June 10, 2008 Driscoll was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. He also was honored in 2009 by his alma mater, Ithaca College, when he received the Distinguished Sport Industry Leader award. Currently, Driscoll is the First Vice President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association. He represents the BIG EAST’s athletic directors on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, serves as a mentor for the Division I-AAA mentoring program and serves on the HOCKEY EAST Television Negotiations and Marketing Committees. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Management Council, the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship Committee (Chair 2010-11) and was the Chair of the Big East Athletic Directors in 2011-12. Driscoll was an NCAA Fellows Programs Executive Mentor. Driscoll joined the Providence community after 14½ years in athletic administration at the University of California, Berkeley. At Cal, Driscoll served as the Executive Associate Athletic Director and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department as well as overseeing football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo, rugby, strength training, equipment and the sports medicine programs. Driscoll was hired at Cal as the Associate Athletic Director for Student Services, a position he held for five years. He then assumed the position of Executive Associate Athletic Director, at which point he was responsible for the administration of 27 varsity sports, a staff of 250 and a $36 million budget. Prior to coming to Providence, he served as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his tenure, Cal won over 20 national championships and competed in the Citrus, Copper, Alamo and Aloha Bowls. The Bears also finished as high as 12th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup. Before arriving at Cal, Driscoll served six years (1981-87) as the Athletic Director and Chair of the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Intramural Sports at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Prior to Mills, Driscoll was Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball and Hockey Coach at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. from 1977-81. Driscoll played hockey and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.), where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974.

FRIARS IN THE COMMUNITY

C O M M U N I T Y

WaterFire Providence The Providence College Softball Team helped out as members of the Special Operations team for WaterFire Providence on October 12, 2013 and aided with setup, breakdown and crowd control. The Friars were a small portion of the over 150 plus volunteers for the night. WaterFire was held in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in conjunction with the Gloria Gemma Foundation. The night included performances by dancers and a procession of survivors, those battling breast cancer and those walking in remembrance of loved ones who lost their battle to breast cancer.

Junior League Healthy Harvest On October 19, 2013 the Providence College Softball Team made its way to the YMCA in Smithfield, R.I. to help out with the Junior League Healthy Harvest. The event included a various number of stations that gave tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle. There was a Cross-Fit trainer, books about healthy cooking and a chef that made healthy snacks. The team took time to teach participants the basics of throwing a softball as well as one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite games, Speed Balls. Members of the team also got to spend some time with the Double-Dutch Sharks from Providence and learned that double-dutch jump roping is not as easy as it looks.

BIG EAST Conference

The BIG EAST Conference enters a new era in 2013-14. The league, which has always competed with integrity and sportsmanship at the highest levels of intercollegiate sports, will move forward as an eigh-team softball league. The conference will crown champions in 22 sports in 2013-14, the 35th season in its history, with its student-athletes continuing to achieve success in the classroom as well as the athletic arena. In 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS football decided to return to the type of conference alignment that existed when the league was formed in 1979 and quickly surged to national prominence as a college basketball force. On December 15, 2012, seven institutions (DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University and Villanova University) announced their intention to separate from the football-playing schools in the previous BIG EAST and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that enabled them to keep the BIG EAST name and establish a new conference entity beginning on July 1, 2013. The schools also assumed the old conference’s long-term agreement with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Championship, one of the premier events in college athletics. The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions that share the same academic and athletic values -- Butler University, Creighton University and Xavier University -- and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. The television agreement will help usher in the new BIG EAST era and afford the conference’s schools broad national exposure. Fox Sports and its new national cable network, Fox Sports 1, have the television rights to all BIG EAST games in all sports. BIG EAST student-athletes have achieved recent success in other sports, as well. A BIG EAST team has won the NCAA women’s cross country championship three of the last four years (Villanova won twice and Georgetown once), with one runner-up

finish (Providence). Creighton’s men’s soccer team has reached the NCAA College Cup in each of the past two seasons. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 34 national championships in six different sports, and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2012-13. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College, which formed the original seven-school alliance. While the membership has evolved, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a steadfast emphasis on academic integrity. BIG EAST student-athletes sport significantly high graduation rates, and the league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for the conference and BIG EAST student-athletes. The BIG EAST was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner and served until 1990. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee and the right-hand man to Gavitt for 11 years, took over from Gavitt and was commissioner until 2009. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, when he was succeeded by Mike Aresco. Val Ackerman, who previously served as President of USA Basketball and the founding President of the WNBA, was named the BIG EAST’s fifth Commissioner on June 26, 2013. BIG EAST institutions are now located in seven of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. The BIG EAST has moved its headquarters from Providence, its original location, to New York City.
